CORINTH HERALD: So long severy
citizen enjoys his political rights At
the ballot box and in the courts, there
is no need of political party repre-
scnting any special class OF calling.
DEMOCRAT STAR: If the grand jury
would watch an opportunity to enforce
section 2756 of the Code as to the duty
of officers to return any person COM
hitting an ot1ense in their view or
knowIedge, or of which they hare any
potice they might do some good.
DEMOCRAT STAR: But while we
oppose Constitutional Convention,
We favor the submission to the pcO-
pie of necessary amendments. Away
with sentiment and let us get down to
strict hlsinsss. There will be found,
Oh that line, plenty to do and to be
undOne.
NEW MIssISSIPrIAN: There is one
fact from which there can he no eva
sion or escape. If, as they claim, the
decision of the Supreme Court does
settle it forever that Eubanks and Al
brccht were not guilty-it does also
solclnnly and inevitably settle the
other question they decided, that
Hamilton was guilty, 1t settles both
if it settles one.

many big men. The Ordcr was wei
coined To Lansing by Gov. Luce, who

Mississippi should feel proud Of the
distinguished honor conferred upon
her worthy son, especially Jefferson
county, upon whose soil he was born

EICKSBURG PosT: There is no need
ofurgirg the necessity of,ustainiugthc
Judiciary, and showing proper respect
for it's decisions. The fact that Judg-
es Cooper and Campbell, and peyton
and " harton, have withstood the ire
mcndOus pressure brought to bear III
favor of what seemed to he an attempt
to Sccurc'a discrimination Of the law
in favor Of a wealthy and influential
man, should cntitlc them to praise in

them on the proper mode of present
